Casey, Casey, Casey... Once again he breaks new ground in tardism, and seriously gives DaveScot a run for his money for the Lifetime Tard Acheivement Award.(Although DaveScot linking to an article that disproves his very own quotemine attempt this morning is soooo "tres tard".

Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08

Sometimes I wonder what it is like to be a blogger for the Discovery Institute. Imagine the strain of getting up every morning, swallowing every ounce of pride and intellectual integrity you might possess, and searching desperately through the media for something, anything, you can present as hostile to evolution or favorable to ID. It's exhausting work. Yet somehow there are folks like Casey Luskin who seem not just able, but actually willing to do it

Jeez. It must suck to be Casey Luskin almost as much as it does to be Bill Dembski.

We could have a Pathetic Loser contest between the two. Some sort of mindless Reality TV show - it's perfect for them and their audience.

I can picture the red faces, the stuttering, the hillarity that ensues when the Blond Bimbo asks them "So, Bill and Casey, please tell me, how many times have you have received a wedgie? So, how many were from kids younger than you? For extra Bonus Credit, How many times have you received a wedgie from a member of the opposite sex? (Bill, that means, like girls? You know?"

This could be a true Show For The Ages.

I don't know. Luskin cracks me up when he starts talking about anthropology. Dembski, on the other hand, is just sad...

FTK: I Didn't answer your questions because it beats the hell out of me.

PaV: I suppose for me to be pried away from what I do to focus long and hard on that particular problem would take, quite honestly, hundreds of thousands of dollars to begin to pique my interest.

Yup. Fisked about half of it on my blog sometime back. It took an incredible amount of time just to do that. I had to provide background information so that I could then go on and explain why and how Luskin was wrong. Which meant one background post for each post where I specifcally talked about what Luskin had to say. Casey made a lot of errors in that paper - most of which are recycled creationist arguments.

Maybe she meant scienceblogs.com, not science blogger. In which case, well,

I don't think that guy's an atheist. Or John Wilkins.

I'm assuming she did mean ScienceBlogs.com. I think Wilkins has mentioned in public that he is an agnostic, other than that I can't say - confidentiality and all. Our recruiter doesn't much care if a person is religious or not, the key is to write good, interesting science posts.

I don't think Wilkins is a theist. Was there something in particular that made you think so?

He's not a theist. He's an agnostic. FtK asked if you had to be an atheist. Wilkins argues with PZ that he's not an atheist. While I personally put all non-theists into the atheist category, Wilkins doesn't identify as an atheist.

I said I'm looking for a theist....personally, deists don't cut it in my book. I'm doubtin' Ed's seen the inside of a church for a while. If MarkCC is Jewish, you'd win...never heard of the guy. I'll have to go check it out.
